Shuttle Coasters and Launches

[Paulm12]

It would be great to have shuttle launched coasters. Something like a flywheel launched Schwarzkopf (Anton) for a shuttle loop. In PC1 we had the reverse shuttle launch for the "Looping Star" model but PC2 does not have this (nor a forward shuttle launch). It could be a coaster/operation mode (like Block Section) or its own model that is shuttle-like.

A few coaster types that would benefit from a shuttle option/variant:
1. Anton Looping Star - Something like Montezooma's Revenge
2. Vector Sit Down - With a swing launch for something like a Super Boomerang
3. Premium Rides LIM Coaster (We have a Premium - LSM; would be great to have an LIM option in shuttle or full circuit) - Something like Mr. Freeze (would also be great to have a track piece that could launch/boost like the vertical spike on the Mr. Freeze coasters)
4. Dart Kinetics Looping - For something like the launched loop models, i.e. Sidewinder at Elitch Gardens
5. Valais And Nidwalden Wing Lauched - For Something like Mandrill Mayhem (We had a launched Wing in PC1, PC2 does not have it yet)

I also want the Premier Rides LIM Launch coaster as well.

I want an Anton Shuttle Loop with a flywheel or weight drop launch.

I agree. Would love to see the Anton Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop, like Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's!

 

[Richmountain112]

I'd prefer to see the Premier Rides LIM Launched coaster instead, like Mr Freeze at Six Flags Over Texas.

None of the flywheel-launched Shuttle Loops had any sort of boosters so using the flywheel launch for larger models would be impractical.

Whether it's based on the Schwarzkopf flywheel-launched coaster or the Premier Rides LIM launched coaster, doesn't much matter to me. As long as you can still build a shuttle loop coaster like Montezooma's Revenge is all I'm interested in doing.

You can already (sort of) do a shuttle loop with the S&S air launch coaster (or the other hydraulic launch coasters if you disable track limits to allow inversions), but the trains are kinda short on the pneumatic launched coaster.

Oh thanks. I'll check that out.

However, the hydraulic launch coasters are not a substitute for the LIM shuttle coaster because they lack boosters.
